Former President Trump called the Russian invasion into Ukraine “a Holocaust” and urged Russia to stop fighting, a large shift in tone since last week when the former president praised Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Trump's remarks came during a Wednesday interview with Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo, widely seen as a Trump ally.
The former president said Russia has "to stop killing these people" and suggested a deal could be worked out to end the conflict.
In came in the context of scattered criticism of the Biden administration's handling of the Russia-Ukraine crisis, which served as the opening note to President Biden's State of the Union address on Tuesday night.
After Trump said that "something could be done with [Russia] right now," Bartirom asked him "what's the solution."
“Well, you have to work out a deal. They have to stop killing these people," Trump answered. They're killing all of these people, and they have to stop it, and they have to stop it now,” Trump replied.
